Glacier only spent around 5 years as part of the Chincoteague herd but he left a large impact behind. Glacier was born into the Maryland herd in 1993 and had the Keiper number N6BJR. His sire was the palomino pinto Trigger and his dam the bay tobiano Kelly. Glacier didn't have any recorded offspring in Maryland. He was photographed in 2003 at spring roundup and his ownership was transferred to the CVFC in 2004. Glacier was renamed Twister in the old registry. He was often mistaken for fellow buckskin tobiano stallion Tornado. Glacier's only buyback was a signification one, the 2008 stallion Chief Golden Eagle.
https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/assateague-horses... Glacier was a bay with the cream dilution carrying recessive chestnut. He inherited chestnut from his palomino sire and bay from his bay dam. If we didn't know what color his parents were his palomino foals like Chief Golden Eagle tell us he had recessive chestnut. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/bay.html https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/chestnut.html The cream dilution that Glacier had, and his son still passes on, is unrelated to the other cream dilutes in Virginia. It's almost extinct in Maryland. Glacier's half sister Coco, through their sire, is the last cream dilute in the Maryland herd. But thankfully this line is alive and well in Virginia thanks to Glacier. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/buckskin.html
